How to do noindex/follow? index/nofollow?

See original GitHub issue

It seems there is no config for “follow”, and just setting noindex to true sets the meta robots to ‘noindex, nofollow’. On certain pages I want to set ‘noindex,follow’. How can I achieve this?

Conversely, what about ‘index,nofollow’.

These are rare in use, but I think still important to have the ability to do so.

Hoping to publish it before next Monday if all goes well 🤞 Just testing at the moment.

In the meantime can you try this:

import Head from 'next/head';

<Head>
  <meta key="robots" name="robots" content="noindex,follow" />
  <meta key="googlebot" name="googlebot" content="noindex,follow" />
</Head>

Could you let me know if that works?

Hey @geochanto, very good point. I had overlooked this 😅. I will investigate adding this in V2.
